Hi, sorry to ask! But was just wondering if anyone can do a look up for parents and siblings of Abraham Sparrow Preston born 1867 in Woverhampton, Staffordshire. Also for Parents and sibblings of Susannah Sergant born 1873 in Kidderminster, Staffordshire. Thanks Julie x

Hi Glitter baby, he is on the 1901 census married to Susannah and my Great grandad is on there aswell as his son John W Preston age 3. my ancestry membership expired today so am a bit stuck.I have ordered a birth cert for Abraham last Tuesday waiting for that to arrive maybe will give some more clues. How ever i know nothing about Susannah except her maiden name was Sergant and she was born in Kidderminster in1873.so any help would be greatly appreciated. Julie x
